Darpan Cruiser In Your City presents The Giving Hearts Gala. The Giving Hearts Gala took place at Langley’s Coast Hotel & Convention Centre to celebrate philanthropy within the South Asian community.
The Gala was presented by Allure Ventures and was supporting Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. The night raised funds to renew the Spiritual Space at Langley Memorial Hospital (LMH) — a place where patients, their loved ones, and health care workers can find solace in times of crisis.
Co founders Manjit Gill and Balraj Mann were behind the 4th Giving Hearts Gala.
Up to 350 guests enjoyed a South Asian fusion dinner and an evening of entertainment, including an online raffle, live and silent auctions.
